Book Description

The research topic for this IAS/PCMI Summer Session was nonlinear wave phenomena. Mathematicians from the more theoretical areas of PDEs were brought together with those involved in applications. The goal was to share ideas, knowledge, and perspectives. How waves, or ``frequencies'', interact in nonlinear phenomena has been a central issue in many of the recent developments in pure and applied analysis. It is believed that wavelet theory--with its simultaneous localization in both physical and frequency space and its lacunarity--is and will be a fundamental new tool in the treatment of the phenomena. Included in this volume are write-ups of the ``general methods and tools'' courses held by Jeff Rauch and Ingrid Daubechies. Rauch's article discusses geometric optics as an asymptotic limit of high-frequency phenomena. He shows how nonlinear effects are reflected in the asymptotic theory. In the article ``Harmonic Analysis, Wavelets and Applications'' by Daubechies and Gilbert the main structure of the wavelet theory is presented. Also included are articles on the more ``specialized'' courses that were presented, such as ``Nonlinear Schrodinger Equations'' by Jean Bourgain and ``Waves and Transport'' by George Papanicolaou and Leonid Ryzhik. Susan Friedlander provides a written version of her lecture series ``Stability and Instability of an Ideal Fluid'', given at the Mentoring Program for Women in Mathematics, a preliminary program to the Summer Session. This Summer Session brought together students, fellows, and established mathematicians from all over the globe to share ideas in a vibrant and exciting atmosphere. This book presents the compelling results.

The goal of this website is to help shoppers compare book prices from different
vendors / sellers and find cheap books and cheap college textbooks. Many discount
books and discount text books are put on sale by discounted book retailers and
discount bookstores everyday. All you need to do is to search and find them. This
site also provides many book links to some major bookstores for book details and
book coupons. But be sure not quickly jump into any bookstore site to buy. Always
click "Compare Price" button to compare prices first. You would be happy
that how much you would save by doing book price comparison.

Buy Used Books and Used Textbooks

It's becoming more and more popular to buy used books and used textbooks among
college students for saving. Different second hand books from different sellers
may have different conditions. Make sure to check used book condition from the
seller's description. Also many book marketplaces put books for sale from small
bookstores and individual sellers. Make sure to check store review for seller's
reputation if possible. If you are in a hurry to get a book or textbook for your
class, you should choose buying new books for prompt shipping.

Buy Books from Foreign Country

Our goal is to quickly find the cheapest books and college textbooks for you,
both new and used, from a large number of bookstores worldwide. Currently our
book search engines fetch book prices from US, Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia,
Netherlands, France, Ireland, Germany, and Japan. More bookstores from other countries
will be added soon. Before buying from a foreign book store or book shop, be sure
to check the shipping options. It's not unusual that shipping could take two to
three weeks and cost could be multiple of a domestic shipping charge.
